DEVILS LAKE, Sept. accompanying
this country with my former home,
Trempeleau county, Wis, 1 most can
didly say, for a poor man, Dakota can
not be compared with Wisconsin,, as
Dakota is superior in almost every re-
spect.
A man can come here and get $50 acres
of as good land as the sun ever shed it's
rays upOn-land that would actually
send the average Wisconsin farmer wild
with envy to look at, who is pounding
away in bluffs, stones and grubs in Wis
consin. The advantage over the majority
of land in Wisconsin is that after it is
broken up it will not wash away. as
hilly lands will. And again, the soil is
far better. We have no stones and
grubs to contend with, and if man will
summer fallOw his land about once in
four years, it will never wear out.
Another thing i'll favor of this country
good. The cost to keep roads up is vir-
tually nothing compared with a billy
country.
Expenses to run farm here are not
one-half what it costs to run the same
sized farm in Wisconsin. One man
here. with three horses and the neces-
sary farming implements, can take care
of LBS acres of ground in good season
without crowding, and consequently the
western farmer can raise wheat at SO
cents per bushel and make profit.
But you don't have to raise wheat eX-
cluSlvely. as you can raise stock for
great deal less money here than you can
in the over-crOwded east, as we have
any amount of good pasturage here in
summer, and our hay alone will bring
out stock in the spring looking as well
as grain fed cattle east.
Our winters are not any colder than
in Wisconsin; III fact. you do not feel
the cold as much here as you do there,
with the thermometer the same.
Wood can be had at from s. to s. per
cord, and coal. last winter. was $40 to
S12 per ton. Mines are being opened at
Minot that will reduce this price
about s..
Work can always be had, and at good
wages. So, take it all in all, this is the
country for poor man. If you have
got plenty of money you cannot find
any place where you can use it to better
advantage, E. G. HANSON.

The Advance in Iron Hill Stock
Creates General Waking Up of
Those in the Carbonate Camp.
Special to the Globe.
DEADwooD, OAK, Sept. 30.-The re-
cent advance in stocks of mines in the
carbonate camp has had a warming eff
feet on all stocks, and the way and
number in which they have emerged
from hiding is at once an evidence of
the extent of the mining craze of last
year and the readiness of the entire
country for revival of the same, TO
less extent perhaps There is as much
diStruSt of the permanence of the pres
ent advance in Iron Hill stock right
here and in Lead City as further away:
perhaps more. The disappointment and
loss from the collapse was greatest here,
and confidence in the managers of the
company will be as slow to revive. The
declaration of one dividend, the frequent
announcements of new, rich finds in the
mine, the steady output OF bullion for
three months past and the new departure
of the manager in throwing the mine
open to visitors, all are not Sufhclent
TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE AT ONCE.
The condition of the Iron Hill mine.
under its present management. warrants
an investment price of about 81 share,
at which the dividends that now seem
reasonably assured for some months, OF
cents per share per month, Will pay at
the rate of 80 per cent. per annum. ANY
price above 81 is speculative, and JuStl-
fed only by expectation OF boom prices.
Those who bet on its going higher by
buying at present quotations bet against
a close money market and the unpopu-
lar prestige of the management. Ii
there is any mining excitement what
ever, it is reasonable to expect that
Iron Hill will lead the market and get
the first impulse of the boom. The
management at least succeeds in Keep
ing that's took at the front as the leader
and regulator of the market. That much
must be said to their credit. And they
have kept this lead and maintained
their saddles against difficulties and
strains that would have unSeated men
less reSolute and Shrewd.
Meanwhile. there is steady caravan
of teams hauling base bullion away from
the Iron Hill smelter and pouring aeon
tiguOuS stream of wealth into her COZ
ferS. This must begin to tell III tune
on the market value of that and all other
stocks, especially those of mines situate
in the same (Carbonate) district. Indeed,
those other stocks already begin to show
strength and activity under the belief
in the better quality of the ore obtained
in the Iron Hill, and many SagaciouS
men look to see those mines that are
under management that has public con-
fidence derive more benefit from the
present improved situation wrought by
Iron Hill dividends than the latter gains

Mr.. Day is far too shrewd politician

Wilat Is the good of kicking against the

Dakota cut standing alone in the ma
tlonal convention in opposition to Mr..
Cleveland? True, it would show that
Dakota does not indorse his administers
ton, but would it be likely to bring
about any change in his policy toward
the territory? Would it be likely to
secure further favors from the admins
tratiOn in future? That Mr.. Cleveland
has made mistakes in dealing with the
territory we see no reason to deny, but
we believe his mistakes are as few as
any of his predecessors, while his mer-
ItoriouS acts are far more. The rank

Sioux FALLS. Sept. 30.-Judge
Palmer. of this city. who was three
weeks ago the popular candidate of a
large portion of the country press of
South Dakota for delegate next year,
has inadvertently put his foot into it in
a manner most gratifying to his politi-
cal foes-the judge has no personal enc
mics. 1t came about thus: The Judge
was writing communication to a
South Dakota daily of some reputa-
ton. and took occasion to
a .ude to the weekly press
in this wise; ''If such had been the ut
terance of some 'penny-a-liner' attempt
ing the responsibility of fathering a
patent inside in the 'backwoodS', it
would hardly have been worthy of
notice-aS no probable harm could have
come from it." The judge, of course,
intended no reflection on the country
press, but that makes no particular
difference. The country press has
taken the matter up. 1t feels that it
has been insulted and sneered at and
the feeling of opposition to the judge is
becoming very pronounced.
The Judge is now at st. Louis. EX-

turns.

But change came over the spirit of his
dream, and he was soon roughly
awakened to the stern realities of the
law. Last winter the legislature of the
territory passed an act attaching certain
counties in the Sioux reservation to this
country for judicial purposes, and, as
under the treaty of 1868, an Indian on
the Sioux reservation was made
amenable to the laws of the United
